Hi all, I decided to write another fic something that I thought of last night. This story is everything you need to know about Robin Scherbatsky's thoughts from first moving to New York to getting married which is something she never thought she wanted but knew she found someone who understands her and loves her for who she is and knows what she wants and doesn't care because she wants to be loved and maybe a little admired but mostly love.

I thought this would give some insight on her feelings, thoughts, emotions, what she wants, who she loves and everything Robin Scherbatsky. This is her journal entries, cause yeah she is a girl and likes to write about herself even if she doesn't admit it. She's a freakin girl, with thoughts, feelings, emotions and opinions on life, her friends who are her family, her immediate family and finding love and happiness in the big city she loves so much.

And, yes there is Swarkles, a lot of Swarkles but mainly Robin's thoughts and feelings for Barney and some interactions as well because the real Robin Scherbatsky has thoughts and mind of her own and could love whomever she wants at anytime she wants to because she is a woman. A human being, a happy, healthy, physical woman who can be sexy one minute and be crying the next. She is who she is, she loves whomever she loves and her friendships mean everything to her because the real Scherbatsky would never up and leave her best friends to travel alone in the world without anyone there to support her or be there for her at night when she's alone in a dark hotel room. So, in later chapters she will talk about her friendships and about Barney and how she feels about him.

Please enjoy this I think this will give you readers a real insight into the mind of Robin Charles Scherbatsky.


My journal entry, 101 First week in New York City

April 2005

I, Robin Scherbatsky have just moved to New York City to start a new job at a local news network. Metro News 1, it's not the biggest news network or the most popular. Okay, it's not even close to being popular or most watched but it's a start for me. I had just arrived a few days ago from Canada where I left my friends and family behind to make it big, as a news caster in the biggest and greatest city in the world which is a bit scary since I don't know anyone here. My first day at my new job wasn't great, in fact it was awful, the first live report I did was of some cat lady who lives in a small apartment on the lower east side. I thought it was stupid, then I realized I live with 5 dogs... anyway, later after the report I went back to the office were my boss didn't even want to listen to what I had to say. Then, some co-workers asked me to go to a bar for some drinks so I agreed just to have them stop pestering me to go.

I didn't want to go to a bar at all, all I wanted to do is go home have a good scotch and sit on the couch and watch a movie. But, I ended up going to the bar cause yeah I could use a good drink and so I went and it was interesting to say the least. I first went to the bar because my co-workers wanted me to, I hung out with them for a while before I became bored. I was talking to one of my co-worker friends when I notice two guys looking at me. One had this weird look on his face, he had brown hair and looked like the average looking guy, he didn't seem like a New Yorker but was sweet after I briefly talked to him. And, then there was another guy, I guess it was his friend. He had blond hair, blue eyes and was wearing a suit something I didn't think most New Yorkers would wear. He was looking at me with this side glance smiling behind his friend with the he brown hair. Both guys are quite cute, the brunette guy kept staring at me it was weird.

A little while later I walked over to the bar to order my drink and to get the next round for my colleagues when I was tapped on my shoulder by that blonde in the suit. Immediately, and this is not me, I've never felt anything so electric in my life. He only touched my shoulder for a second but I can't help but not think of that touch all night the night before, even when I was on a date with his brunette friend. His friend Ted, who is really nice but wants to settle down and seems to rush right into thinking I want the same things. He seemed a bit clingy, but sweet. He was in a suit too which I find really attractive on a guy, it's the first thing that caught my eye when I saw his friend smiling that awkward tilted head smile. I liked that little fantasy I built up the entire evening on my date with his friend and all I could think about was the cutie blonde in the suit looking at me with his side-wards smile.

And, then as my date Ted and I are back at my place he says something that I never wanted to hear cause I was so caught up in my fantasy of his friend in the suit.

"I think I'm in love with you." He tells me, this threw me out of my fantasy thoughts very quickly.

"What?" This guy doesn't even know me but already he loves me. This is so weird, this whole night is weird.

The last thing I wanted to hear was 'I love you' from a complete stranger. This freaked me out, he left and for the rest of the night I couldn't sleep or get my mind off of the blonde in the suit. Ted is a nice guy, very nice, sweet but I don't want that dream of moving to the suburbs and having 2.0 kids with a house and a picket fence. All I wanted was to get laid, after such a stressful day, I just wanted to sleep with someone particularly in a suit. But, now that fantasy and my thoughts aren't anywhere near where it was before Ted ruined it.

Now I'm lying here in bed trying to sleep but I can't so I'm writing in my journal.

Thanks, first week in New York I had a blast working my first professional reporter job and not getting laid.

Sincerely;

Robin Charles Scherbatsky
